Preparation and in vitro anti-tumor activity of multifunctional copper-based nanozymes

  • 摘要: 为克服肿瘤细胞中过氧化氢(H2O2)匮乏和谷胱甘肽(glutathione, GSH)高表达对化学动力学疗法(chemodynamic therapy, CDT)效果的限制,通过一步法制备负载双硫仑(disulfiram, DSF)与3-氨基-1,2,4-三唑(3-animo-1,2,4-triazole, 3-AT)的沸石咪唑框架(zeolitic imidazolate framework-8, ZIF-8),并经生物矿化在其表面原位生长透明质酸(hyaluronic acid, HA)修饰的过氧化铜(cupric peroxide, CuO2),构建多功能铜基纳米酶ADZCH(3-AT/DSF@ZIF-8@CuO2-HA)。该纳米酶可通过级联催化破坏肿瘤H2O2稳态、消耗GSH并同步递送DSF与Cu2+,协同增强CDT和敏化DSF化疗效果。理化性能检测结果显示,ADZCH呈均匀核壳结构、分散性良好,其粒径和Zeta电位分别为196.5 nm和−19.5 mV;具有微孔结构,比表面积为81.8600 m2/g,可有效负载DSF和3-AT,对应载药率分别为5.91%与45.07%;ADZCH在酸性环境中可持续缓慢释放药物,且在不同生理条件下保持良好的稳定性。体外性能检测结果显示,ADZCH具有浓度和孵育时间呈依赖性地产生H2O2、羟基自由基并消耗GSH。细胞摄取实验表明,HA修饰显著提高了4T1细胞对纳米颗粒的摄取能力。细胞毒试验表明,80 μg/mL ADZCH对4T1细胞有明显杀伤作用,对L929细胞无明显毒性作用。DCFH-DA探针检测表明,ADZCH可显著诱导细胞内ROS生成,有利于增强CDT疗效。活/死染色实验显示,ADZCH高效诱导细胞凋亡,死细胞比例达94.74%,具备良好的抗肿瘤应用潜力。本研究为克服肿瘤微环境屏障、提升CDT联合化疗的抗肿瘤效果提供了新的研究思路与实验依据。

     

    Abstract: To address the constrains imposed by insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and high glutathione (GSH) expression in tumor cells on the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT), zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) loaded with disulfiram (DSF) and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT) was synthesized via a one-pot approach. Subsequently, hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified cupric peroxide (CuO2) was in-situ grown on its surface through biomineralization to construct a multifunctional copper-based nanozyme ADZCH (3-AT/DSF@ZIF-8@CuO2-HA). This nanoplatform disrupts the intratumoral H2O2 homeostasis, depletes GSH, and synchronously delivers DSF and Cu2+ via cascade catalysis, thereby enhancing CDT and sensitizing tumors to DSF-based chemotherapy. The results of physicochemical characterization indicated that ADZCH presented a uniform core-shell structure with favorable dispersibility. Its particle size and Zeta potential were 196.5 nm and −19.5 mV, respectively. It possessed a microporous structure with a specific surface area of 81.8600 m2/g, and demonstrated efficient loading capacity for DSF and 3-AT, achieving drug loading efficiencies of 5.91% and 45.07%, respectively. Moreover, ADZCH can continuously and slowly release drugs in an acidic environment and maintain good stability under diverse physiological conditions. In vitro functional assays verified that ADZCH catalytically generated H2O2 and hydroxyl radicals while concurrently depleting GSH in a concentration- and incubation time-dependent manner. Cellular uptake experiments showed that HA modification significantly improved the uptake of nanoparticles by 4T1 cells. Cytotoxicity tests showed that 80 μg/mL ADZCH had a significant cytotoxic effect on 4T1 cells but no significant toxicity on L929 cells. DCFH-DA probe detection indicated that ADZCH could significantly induce intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, thereby enhancing CDT efficacy. Live/dead staining experiments showed that ADZCH efficiently induced apoptosis, with the proportion of dead cells reaching 94.74%, demonstrating its promising potential for anti-tumor applications.This study provides new research ideas and experimental basis for overcoming the tumor microenvironment barrier and enhancing the anti-tumor effect of CDT combined with chemotherapy.
